Just bought a pair of brand new GS-P axles for my wife's Corolla from Advance Auto because I get a pretty good discount there. Decided not to mess with reman's at all on this car (first time for me changing them). The current axles vibrate BAD during acceleration at highway speeds. They're an unequal length design, just like with Honda D-series engines.
Anyway, I've heard some people on here say they're great, and others say they're junk and they only recommend NAPA's brand new axles (considerably more expensive).
Thoughts? They do have a lifetime warranty on them, and sell for $70/side regular price, no core charges or anything.

Well I used one once on my jrsc gsr the axle boot rubbed on my s/c alt bracket due to the fact that the gsp axle end is larger than oem .I was pretty disgusted and had to remove the so called quality GSP axle .My neighbor whos worked on cars full time for 30 + years and myself who have turned wrenches for 25 + years could not no matter what we did get the gsp outer axle to separate from my intermediate axle .We ended up pulling the whole assembly intermediate and outer axle out of the car . We then put it in the vice on my workbench guess what no luck , no prybar ,crowbar big *** hammer or anything were able to seperate them .I ended up having to buy both axles outer (for the second time in a month) and intermediate and replacing them both .I will Never use a GSP axle again !! and if you have a JRSC then know that gsp axles will rub on your alternator bracket quickly eating through the boot and losing the grease and rendering the axle worthless which is what they are in the first place !!

I have the GSP axles on my CRV. They seem to be perfect match to oem on the outside. I did not tear them apart to compare. They bolted up and worked fine for about a year of use on very bad axle angles. I have since replaced them with a shorter set of GSP axles but have yet to drive on the new ones.
